On Saturday, January 14, the Ohio Roller Girls ventured out to the Columbus Convention Center to the Columbus Winter Beerfest, a 120,000 square foot beer festival featuring 150 craft beers and live music benefiting the Big Joe Duskin Music Foundation. Though the weather outside was cold and icy, over 5,000 + attendees braved the weather to come out.
Once they arrived, guests could bring their coats over to the OHRG’s Hip-Check Coat-Check, where your favorite roller girls took hundreds of coats. The Columbus Beerfest organizers certainly chose the right group for their coat check! As 5,000 rambunctious craft beer filled festival goers exited the venue ready for their coats, your OHRG volunteers were hangin’ tough, keeping a cool head while rushing to get coats back to their owners. Did I mention that there was crowd surfing? There was.
OHRG would like to thank the community for all their generosity and support, as all tips went to the Ohio Roller Girls Travel Fund, to keep us competitive in the North Central Region!
